ou . ave 40 recollection whatever
on snas pen .. 1t Is not u fact shas [
ss' W ore the ~cofoner's jury that
WIZ " ne out OF the Shepherd saloon
nS.et l got supper l went up West
1oetsp street towards where Haddock
WasY 4ot. l think my recollection is better
low than when ! was before the ~corouers
GU y. Idont know what l testified be-
y IRE the coroner's jury. i don't r~ecelect
whether ! said that when / got out of
the Sheperd restaurant l went up to
where Haddock was killed, and saw q
good m-ny persons going hat Way. l
don't think my recollection was az good
as 1t Is now. l thought / told them
where l was. l told them as neal as l
could. l didn't tell the %coroner's Jury
that l bad left the restaurant and gone
to the English Kitchen because / wasn't
asked. didn't swear before the ~coroner's
jury that l had just come out of the
Shepherd saloon when / first heard of the
murder-not tn my knowledge. l did
not swear that l went clear up to where
the body was-not to my knowledge.
Nobody asked me before the coroner's
3ary whether was at the Eogilsh Kitch-
ep with Harry Sherman when / first
heard OF The murder OF Haddock. l don't
remember whether l was asked before
the eoroner's Jury as to where / was
when l'hrst heard OF the murder or as to
where l first heard of the murder. |
think i told the %ceroner's Jury that /
first heard of the murder when I was
down at the English Kitchen. When
| was at the English Kitchen two men
went by, going east, who said that Had
dock was shot. When l went from there
oil b way to the brewery l was alone.
l stopped 8 few moments at the corner
of Water and, Fourth streets. I did not
go to the body. Ispoke to MI. Lyon.
l went alone from there to the brewery.
l had q light, the watchman's lantern,
and walked through the brewery. /
went back over the bridge. 1 stopped
at Jank's fifteen OIL twenty minutes
perhaps. The crowd was still there
about the body. l didn't GO 10 see the
body nor ask any questions. I don't
know who Were at Junk's the last time
| was there. l don't know how 1 en-
tered the saloon-by which room. 1
drank a glass of beer. Nobody drank
with me. l don't know who the barten-
der was. l don't know whether Junk
was there. / was there about fifteen
minutes. L cannot namea single psr-
son who was in the saloon. From.
Jank's | went down to Pearl street and
on Pearl to Sixth street, and up Sixth
to my home. No person went with me
all or part of the way home that night
from Junk's saloon, the last time l was
there. From the Shepherd saloon l
went all alone to the English Kitchen.
REORGANIZATION by the defense: On
the evening of the Sd of August 1 heard
somewhere that old man Kavenaugh
had been killed. [ heard it just when L
came out of the English Kitchen. Be-
fore l had bcen before the coroner's jury
/ had not given the matter any particular
attention. After / was arrested I began
to think carefully where l had been on
that evening.
Re.cross examination by the state: L
was trying to tell the truth before the
coroner's jury. 1t was over two months
after the murder. / never told anybody
that I was at H~oldenreid's saloon when
i first heard of the murder. / did not
tell anybody by the name of M Deip
that l was there.
Re.examination by the defense: ] am
not acquainted with any man of that
name.
